Gentle Doe vs Shrimp Boat
Both from PPG's palette. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Shrimp Boat (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Gentle Doe (LRV 51), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
